Interview with SuSE's and KDE's Waldo Bastian (OSNews)
OSNews is running an
interview with KDE hacker Waldo Bastian. "I think [Linux] is
very close to being viable, in fact I expect to see an increasing number of
large deployments this year. I think the business desktop is viable right
now, especially for organizations that have an IT department already. The
consumer desktop is more difficult, partly because Linux still requires a
certain level of expertise from its users, partly because the OEM market is
under mob-rule from Redmond. I think Lindows is very bold in this regard by
selling PCs through Walmart with a KDE-based desktop pre-installed. They
will be a good test to see if Linux is ready for the consumer
market."
